First Google Fiber Installations Taking Place in Provo, Utah

Back in April of this year, Google made it official that it was bringing Google Fiber to Provo, UT. Here we are in November, and the first installation specialists are arriving at doorsteps. It was made public that the rollout of the 1Gbps service would be particularly easy in Provo, as Google acquired iProvo, a fiber optic network that was already in place through the city.

In order to bring Fiber to Provo, we’ve signed an agreement to purchase iProvo, an existing fiber-optic network owned by the city. As a part of the acquisition, we would commit to upgrade the network to gigabit technology and finish network construction so that every home along the existing iProvo network would have the opportunity to connect to Google Fiber.

Please Google bring it to Chicago. I want to get rid of slow DSL. Who would have thought you would call DSL slow back in the days of dial-up 🙂

You would think it would branch out of Cities were it is already functioning. KC to St.Louis, then on to Chicago. But if Chicago has a partially built or already existing Fiber network than they will probably be coming. They seen to want only cities with a preexisting Fiber network

Google’s response, “What’s a Megabit?”

Hey guys, some nice technicians just dropped by and stuck this on my wall. What should I do with it?

Please Google Fiber come to Flint, MI. I promise its not as bad as our rep, and I will personally help ensure none of your techs get shot.

Get Jackie Moon to help with the protection nobody will mess with him.

How I wish they would come to North East Ohio.

I signed in just to upvote this! Cleveland Area needs some Google Fiber love.

Franklin Ramsey

Heck, I’d be OK with them starting in a smaller area and expanding into Cleveland. Say, start in between Akron and Canton and work North. Since Verizon’s FIOS seems to have just stopped in that middle area.

I live through Houston traffic everyday. And I don’t want to live in Austin anymore because of their traffic.

But, man, it was fun back in the ’80s on the Forty Acres.

Let’s go!!! lol =) Such a great city. Can’t wait to visit again.

Utah is awesome Provo not so much.. The land of horns and magic underwear..

Allen George

Flagstaff Arizona please. The internet here is awful. Cable is 15mbps and you usually get ~5 or less, and DSL only offers 1.5mbps in most areas.

Packing up and moving to Provo- Famous last words
